    The XBox One Thread

    Of me wiggling my stick? LOL I can't feel any play at all - if they all do it do you have a video of what you mean I should be looking for?

    £500 for a laptop - help!

    No but in the same lifespan of a new macbook we'd replace windows laptops 3 times. As I said it's utterly a false economy buying cheap. Just the same as it is with everything else in life. People who think you're "just paying for a badge" with a mac are seriously shallow minded. Work in an...

    £500 for a laptop - help!

    The standard corporate replacement schedule at the companies I've worked at has been 12 months for Windows laptops and 36months for Apple laptops A fair bit of that is because Windows runs like a bag of s**t without an absolute ton of memory and recent processor whereas you can usually run 3...

    cup racer rear harness bar

    I think it was something around 3mm yeah. TBH welding in the cage feet is the only job I've outsourced to someone else (mines not a cup racer cage btw) - because I can't weld And watching him do the front feet with his head under the dash, a wet towel over his head and holding up a piece...

    how exactly do the clio race cars put out 200 BHP?

    This They were stock engines with a slightly different ecu map, filter and exhaust. They were nowhere near 200bhp. I've been on track with one and mine passed it easily on straights. They were just bloody quick through corners thanks to the sequential box, suspension and tyres so they...

    £500 for a laptop - help!

    WTF would I know - only have 15 years in IT, working at companies with 500+ members of staff. And we did 6 months of reliability testing and downtime monitoring before justifying a switch to Macs. F*cking fanboy lol Because I don't pirate software? Either that or you bought a laptop on...

    cup racer rear harness bar

    A lot of people put spreader plates on the bottom. There's absolutely no room with some of the cages to put spreader plates on the top of the arch. My cage actually bent the arch when fitting so I put spreader plates on the underside

    I Want An iPad Mini...

    It's just personal choice I have a 64gb iPad 3 (I think - the one just before the port changed) It's too big and bulky imo. I never read books on it (I use a nook instead for that) because it makes my arm ache after an hour. I use it mainly just for a bit of social stuff, games and watch...

    £500 for a laptop - help!

    Utter toss. You pay for the build quality/materials/OS and resale value I've had 4 macbook pro's - my girlfriend has had 2. Last one cost us £1200 - she used it for 3 years through uni, it was scratched and battered when she was done with it - still sold for £650 The operating system - free...

    £500 for a laptop - help!

    I was aiming my response more at all the people telling you to buy a macbook - because it's clearly the best way to go - but you've already been told that LOADS on the other thread so it's pointless people replying on here saying the same thing As has been said a £500 macbook will last 2 more...

    CLIO 172 Full Workshop Manual Required

    What do you mean by repair manual. The clio 172/182 manuals linked to on this thread you can still download If you mean more like a generic haynes manual then no idea.

    Xbox One & Surround Sound

    HDMI is 7.1 compatible. 5.1 is not an issue at all. I run HDMI from my Xbox One into my Sony Bravia, then take a digital audio feed from the optical out on the TV into my turtle beach headphones which is full dolby 5.1. Done the same into a 5.1 surround sound setup too which also was full dolby...

    97" Screen on a budget

    Are you the only person in the world who insulates his house roof instead of the loft floor so that his loft is toasty warm? That'd be a pretty expensive heating bill lol

    Active Exhaust and Induction System

    Yes - like 110db "ow my god my ears are ringing" noise. It's horrid. I'm sure that's just down to what valve you use. The throttle body on 1*2's is electronically operated and works fast enough to match the throttle position :)

    Active Exhaust and Induction System

    If you're wanting to do the exhaust just for noise then it would work - but put the valves after the cat and first silencer because TRUST ME decatted straight through on a 1*2 sounds like the world is coming to an end What would be really nice would be to put a very free flowing rear silencer...

    Which steering rack?

    Yeah but I suspect they'd have assumed when putting the half back on it could stick on the bush and pinch it Lots of bushes use the split halves - the ARB bush is the same etc... and they all say to put grease on the outside to prevent them being pinched. I know what you're saying though.

    Which steering rack?

    They tell you to use the grease on the outside of all powerflex bushes to prevent the bracket from pinching or bunching the bush up. It's really only supposed to allow the bracket to slide easier over the bush. Obviously you wouldn't use the grease on the inside If they've written that in the...
